As many teams are fabricating and starting assembly of their robots, we thought we would share a system 469 developed over years that we find really helpful.

This paper is a brief description covering a simple but effective parts organization system that can alleviate many small but impactful problems a team might have during their robot build.
This system is similar to other systems teams I have worked with use, but has a few small tweaks that are incredibly useful. This system was developed by Dan Kimura and the Las Guerillas team over years, and I asked if I could share it with CD audience. Like most elegant solutions, it is simple but very effective. If you struggle with "in work" parts getting lost, give this system a try.

Thank you IKE and 469, we will be implementing this as we finish up manufacturing parts for this year.

We do a kind of similar thing, but with plastic bags and a folded up copy of the part drawing. No distinction between practice and comp robot until the parts are done - the ugly ones go on the practice robot.

In the past, I have done bins, but with out the stickers, in work pieces get lost during lunch breaks or between process set ups. Bagging each part is a great idea too.

This is really cool, and so simple. It helps with one of our biggest problems around organization. Thanks for sharing!

To add to it, we do something along these lines with small labeled boxes (e.g. VEXPro boxes) for our small COTS items. There is a "drive train" box, "intake" box, "shooter" box, etc, etc. This helps us pre-allocate COTS items (like new bearings, VP gear sets, 18T sprockets) to a specific mechanism so they don't get lost or beaten up in a random prototype.
